FORTITUDE is the moral virtue that ensures firmness in difficulty and constancy in the pursuit of the good.
The Fortitude Scholarship was established by the Laurens Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. and A.Bevy to assist graduating seniors from Clinton High School in the discovery of their passion, path, purpose, and promote the infinite value of scholarship.
Lady Fortitude
The official symbol for Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. is Lady Fortitude. The replica of the sculpture is located on the campus of Howard University in Washington, DC.
She symbolizes strength, courage, hope, wisdom, beauty, and femininity. Her facial features depict courage and determination.
The outstretched hands represent the receding of love as well as the giving of oneself to others. The statue is shown pushing forward, and the tension on her thigh is representative of her strength. Fortitude stands to inspire women to move forcefully forward to meet life's challenges.
The 2022 Fortitude Scholarship applications are now open.
